Lorde Channels Futuristic Minimalism in Custom Prada at Met Gala 2025

Lorde made a strikingly minimalist statement at the Met Gala 2025, embracing sleek futurism in a custom ensemble by Prada. Her look featured a sculpted bandeau top paired with a high-waisted, floor-length skirt both rendered in a metallic slate-gray satin with subtle horizontal pleating that hugged her silhouette like armor. Holding a matching structured jacket, she exuded quiet power and artistic restraint, opting for clean lines over embellishment. Her makeup was kept minimal and ethereal, and her slicked-back hair emphasized the sculptural purity of the outfit. Aligned with this year’s theme, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” Lorde’s look reawakened the allure of simplicity, proving that boldness doesn’t always require volume or sparkle. The look was equal parts modern siren and futuristic goddess subdued, intelligent, and unforgettable.
